Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz testifies during a Judiciary Committee hearing into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election on Capitol Hill in Washington U.S

President Donald Trump is defending his former national security adviser after the release of memos written by firedFBI Director James Comey. What stood out in the memos Comey drafted after each meeting with Trump was that the former business mogul had a odd obsession with protecting his reputation and information leaking to the public. Trump has accused the online retailer of unfair competition, claiming it is costing the U.S. Postal Service "billions of dollars". The three Republican members on the House Intelligence Committee who requested the memos be declassified called them "myriad [in] other extraneous facts".

It's not clear what in the memos led the president to reach the conclusion. Scott has already weighed in on the memos, which you can read in his post or here, and Paul has noted the reaction of Bob Goodlatte, Trey Gowdy and Devin Nunes.

After he was sacked, Comey gave four of the memos to his friend, Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman, to leak to the press past year.

He refers to the dossier prepared by an ex-British spy, which alleges Trump cavorted with prostitutes in a Russian hotel room in an effort to defile a bed where former President Barack Obama once slept.

Trump was right about McCabe, and while it took him longer to figure it out, he ultimately was right about Comey, too.

Putin bragged to Trump about Russian hookers.

He wanted the FBI to launch an investigation into disproving the Steele Dossier. Mueller is examining Russia's interference in the 2016 USA election, whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to tilt the race in his favor, and whether Trump sought to obstruct justice when he fired Comey last May.

"The president said the "hookers thing" is nonsense but that Putin had told him "We have some of the most lovely hookers in the world".

Trump kept asking about Andrew McCabe.

.

Far from being cowed or embarrassed, Mr Trump's advisers have let it be known that they believe Mr Trump has "weathered the storm" stirred by the Comey publications - which has again brought Mr Trump's brand of plucky pugilism to the fore. The president was deeply concerned by how often private conversations made it to the press. He has said he feels conflicted about McCabe's legal problems given that the two men worked closely together. Trump said in one of a series of scorching Twitter messages, adding that Comey - now one of the Republican president's fiercest critics - had been a bad Federal Bureau of Investigation director.

"I did it that night as soon as I got home on my personal laptop and printed it out on my printer, created two copies", he said, recalling the process he followed after Trump asked him to make a pledge of loyalty to him during a dinner at the White House.

"He then said something about him being the kind of guy who didn't need to "go there" and laughed (which I understood to be communicating that he didn't need to pay for sex)".

The memos memorialized the top G-man's conversations with President Trump, and Comey said he wrote them so he'd have a contemporaneous record of the conversations in case the president denied them later.

NASA estimates that TESS will detect more than 20,000 planets over the course of its two-year primary mission. It's the beginning of a new era of exoplanet research". "It's really a scout for this whole process".

May's trade minister, Liam Fox, and others see such a deal as anathema if it prevents London negotiating its own trade deals. Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer said: "The passing of this cross-party amendment is an important step forward".

Having not played since the Australian Open in January, Nadal earned two wins in Spain's Davis Cup quarter-final win over Germany. In total, Nadal and Federer have contested 57 sets on clay - and Nadal has won 72.5% of them, which is a landslide.

The opposition says a new parliamentary system of government will allow Sargsyan, 63, to maintain his grip on power. Dozens were injured, including Pashinian, who called the protests , as well as a number of police officers.

He added, the newspaper is using non-existent sources and a reporter, which he called a drunk or drugged up loser who hates Cohen. Here's the story that seems to have touched a nerve", she tweeted. "The person replied, 'He's abusive to everybody'".

For IBM , the company now has 11.97 billion of cash on the books, which is offset by 6.99 billion in current liabilities. RBC Capital Markets maintained International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM ) rating on Monday, November 13.

The man called a second time and got a different operator, but by time police arrived, the store manager had been shot and killed. When investigators asked why she had hung up on so many people, she told them that sometimes she just didn't feel like talking.

After nine years there, he was sacked and surprised many by taking the job at the University of Northern Iowa. He worked for years as a radio analyst and was well known for saying how he "bled scarlet and gray".

The heated grudge match broke box-office records for wrestling events, and Bruno retired from the ring the following year. He was also in the first hall of fame class at the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame here in Wichita Falls.

Rubio says that with Diaz-Canel, "the regime will remain an enemy of democracy, human rights and the impartial rule of law". Although the session was initially planned for Thursday, officials decided earlier this week to extend it across two days.
